Machine Overview

The ECM Classika PID is priced at $1499 and is aimed at intermediate skill-level users. In contrast, the Rocket R 60 V comes at a higher price of $3275, catering to advanced users. Both machines are semi-automatic, differing mainly in their target audiences based on skill levels.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Classika PID operates with a lever activation and features a stainless steel brew boiler with a capacity of 0.8 liters, while the R 60 V also uses lever activation but has a dual boiler system with a brew boiler capacity of 0.6 liters. Both machines employ E61 group types, with the Classika using a vibration pump and the R 60 V utilizing a rotary pump. The heat-up time for the Classika is quicker, ranging between 5-15 minutes compared to the R 60 V's longer heat-up time of over 30 minutes. Both machines boast a water reservoir capacity of 2 liters; however, the R 60 V has a slightly larger capacity at 2.5 liters.

Features Comparison

Regarding features, both machines have auto shutoff, PID control, pre-infusion, shot timers, solenoid valves, steam wands, and no-burn wands. The R 60 V includes additional features such as a steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew steam capability, and dual PID control, enhancing its functionality. Meanwhile, the Classika PID lacks a steam pressure gauge and hot water functionality, making the R 60 V more versatile for advanced users. While both are high-quality machines, the Rocket R 60 V offers a more extensive array of features aligned with professional barista requirements.
